The Nameless Dead by #KristineKathrynRusch

Faster than light travel generates a lot of business for a private investigator who has a knack for mining information to help folks wanting to know about those they left behind.

Planetstuck by Sam J. Miller @sentencebender

You can’t go home again, especially when home pulls in all the doors.
 But you can send your folks a little love and support. An ex-pat channels his homesickness into action.

The Repair by #MarkDJacobsen

In the near future, piss off the wrong person and you get doxxed, credit-bombed, and harassed into oblivion.

Not to worry! They have insurance for that, but you’ll never be able to leave your 500 sq. ft. hideaway apartment again.

Enter the black market’ bot repairman.

The Queen of Rhode Island by #BruceSterling & #PaulDiFilippo

The Anthropocene Epoch has ended and the Symbiocene has started. A few small groups of humans are hanging on with their politics, plastics, fire, and guns.

Gravesend, or, Everyday Life in the Anthropocene by #PaulMcAuley

A psychically wounded veteran starts her long journey of healing on the marshes of Gravesend in Kent. A fascinating story more of time and place—a world coping with end-stage climate change—rather than plot.

A companion piece to “The Queen of Rhode Island,” also in this issue, albeit from a much different attitude and perspective.
